1) Start Small & Stay Consistent

Decluttering your home can be overwhelming, but the key, like with anything, is to start small and stay consistent.

Aim for as little as 5 minutes of decluttering each day. Only focusing a little bit each day on decluttering your space, will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed. Whether you’re clearing out a kitchen drawer or organising a cupboard, taking small steps each day can lead to significant progress in bringing order back into your home.

So, set the timer, commit to short decluttering bursts and gain back living space with affordable storage units.

TOP TIP: Consider utilising affordable long term Bridgwater storage units to store seasonal or less frequently used items, providing you with extra living space at home.

2) Sort Items Based On Emotional Attachment

We all have those items that may look like clutter to someone else but hold significant emotional value to our lives. It could be your child’s first pair of shoes, your primary school report or your grandfather’s old record collection.

When decluttering, it is important to recognise the items that you know you will never part with, due to their sentimental value, so you can focus instead on the items that can be rehomed or discarded.

Have lots of items that are meaningful but not practical? Why not store them in our local self storage facility while keeping others accessible?

At Your Store Bridgwater, we recognise the sentimental significance that certain items may hold for you. This is why we provide a secure space conveniently located allowing you to declutter your living spaces without disconnecting from these items. By moving some of your valuable items into safe and secure storage not only will you help to increase the amount of space you have in your home, but they will be safe from damage.

TOP TIP: If you’re asking yourself ‘How secure are my items in self-storage?’ we’re here to reassure you. Read our article ’5 benefits of secure storage in Bridgwater’ for more information.

Decluttering your home makes it look better and helps you find things more easily. Moving items like clothes, furniture, and books to secure storage frees up a lot of space.

Giving you the freedom and space to redecorate and reimagine living areas, such as creating a cosy living room, setting up a home office, or making a play area.

4) Categorise Items

When decluttering your home, it’s helpful to categorise items into four main categories:

  • Keep: items that are in good condition, functional, and you want to continue using
  • Relocate: items you want to keep but don’t need regularly, such as seasonal items or occasional-use tools
  • Donate: items that are still usable but you no longer need them. These can include clothing, household items, or books
  • Rubbish: items that are no longer functional, damaged beyond repair, or no longer serve any purpose

Label boxes or containers with these categories and then go through each item in the space you’re decluttering. Evaluate each item individually to determine which category it belongs to. This process helps you make clear decisions about what to keep, relocate, donate, or discard.

During spring, with more daylight hours, organising outdoor spaces like gardens, patios, decks, and sheds is easier. If you have bulky gardening tools that aren’t used often, consider our garden storage solutions in Bridgwater. Storing them in our low cost self storage Bridgwater units not only frees up space but also preserves their condition for longer use.
